If your pet is injured or suddenly develops concerning symptoms, this constitutes a veterinary emergency. Many pets do a good job of hiding pain or discomfort and oftentimes, injuries or sickness can go unnoticed for too long. It is important to act quickly if you feel your pet is not quite acting him or herself, with some common symptoms including: lethargy, reduced appetite, hiding, avoiding putting weight on a limb or side, difficulty breathing, difficulty urinating, weakness, whining, or shaking. If you suspect your pet is suffering from a medical emergency or is demonstrating unusual behavior, please call us immediately at 631-369-4513 or stop in; an experienced staff member will be able to determine whether or not your pet requires treatment.

The following is a list of common pet emergencies:

Hit by a car

Having trouble urinating, or is not producing urine

Unwilling or unable to eat or drink

Bite wound or burn injury
